Fort Taylor Living History Weekend

Celebrate Florida’s rich history at Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor, America’s Southernmost Civil War Fortress in Key West, Florida. Join our re-enactors as they set up tents, clean their weapons and fire up the blacksmith shop. Climb the circular stairways and experience the harbor view just as the soldiers did in 1861. Walk down our cannon row and touch the actual cannons used to protect this Union stronghold. Tours will be available and public interaction is strongly recommended. RE-enactor participation varies by weekend and weather conditions.
